We deployed a fix to solve an issue preventing players from unhooking, healing or picking up Survivors. Players will need to reboot to see the change reflected in-game. Thank you for your patience!

Trickster was made to laugh in the face of console players

After playing with these "buffs", I'm convinced there are no amount of changes that will ever make this killer good on console. Maybe PC players will have an easier time with him now, but even 6 blades still takes way too much time to do any meaningful damage, especially with the dumb recoil and spread still present. And now the knives decay even faster, instead of going with the community suggestion to have survivors "mend" to remove blades. Yay.

Again, why should I, or anyone else, want to play this killer over Huntress? Because I'd rather play Huntress, or even Nurse, over Trickster.

Trickster has great design; he looks fantastic cosmetically. But he remains the most frustrating killer to play by miles.

    That’s a console problem we should bring awareness to this to show he’s a problem on console also Mending wouldn’t be fun everyone complains about mending and it would make trickster boring

    He's by far the worst killer to play on a controller due to the lack of aiming settings + recoil and spread. Even post-release Blight felt better to play and this tells you everything. Has anyone even tested this?

    The only way to proper playing him is aiming each knife one at a time, but at this point just ######### play Deathslinger and do instant damage.

    Yeah, he’s the most console unfriendly killer to date. An awful player experience on controller. The absolute MOST “we designed this killer for PC and console is an afterthought” killer to date.

    I believe they tested him with a controller going against people who run in straight lines. At least he's fun to depip with.
